Comment (by Thorin):
FWIW:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1509829 in FF66+ upstreamed
#26146 (this reduces HTTP header OSes to two, but leaves JS navigator to
four OSes)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1519122 (In RFP Mode, spoof
the modifier state "Meta" in OSX into a "Ctrl" state in keyboard events)
when landed will then allow MacOS to properly use the cmd key on sites
such as Google Docs etc - and then the JS navigator can be reverted to two
OSes (assuming all the web site breakage was from this).
1519122 will probably not happen before ESR68, but will hopefully be
backported when done, and then both Tor Browser and Firefox with RFP can
get in sync (also note that the platform will change to Windows 10 see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1511434) and headers vs
navigator will also be in sync
tl;dr: it's being handled upstream at Mozilla
